Overview

Our Eskdale Club campsite is nestled in the beautiful Eskdale Valley in the Lake District.

The area is a paradise for walkers and so Eskdale campsite is well equipped for tent campers, backpackers and cycle campers. Motorhomes are also welcome.

Modern heated facilities include a drying room, showers, washing machine and a well-stocked shop. The campsite also has ten camping pods and a camping barn sleeping up to eight if you fancy glamping or want to camp as a group.

Boot is within walking distance of the campsite with dog-friendly pubs and a station for the seven-mile Ravenglass and Eskdale railway, which passes through the Eskdale Valley. Scafell Pike is easily accessed from the campsite, but if that is a little too ambitious more gentle walks take in Stanley Ghyll Falls and Burnmoor Tarn.

For days out go to Muncaster Castle and the World Owl Centre or enjoy the amazing mountain scenery of the Hardknott and Wrynose Pass.

The campsite staff are very helpful and will freeze ice blocks and charge mobiles if necessary.
All facilities very clean.
We ate at the Brook House Inn twice in 4 evenings; very good food and lovely people.
We spent a day on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway, including tea & scones in the Fellbites Caf�.
Also visited Muncaster Castle with excellent owl & falcon displays and walked along River Esk to Stanley Ghyll Waterfall.
This was our first time staying in a pod; it was colder than I expected and got unpleasantly full of condensation by the morning.
Overall, fabulous area and campsite!

Just returned from a week-end stay at Eskdale.

Just returned from a week-end stay at Eskdale. This was our first visit to the site and we hope it won't be our last. We were made very welcome on our arrival and the booking in/finding a pitch process was very good and well organised. The site and the facilities are immaculately clean and tidy, the shower/toilet block being one of the best I have seen. There is a well stocked shop on site that offers hot drinks and buttered toast in a morning which was nice. The site is in a lovely location with three pubs all within walking distance serving ales and good food. We ate at the Boot Inn and the food was good. The site is in a good location for walking and the steam railway station is just a 10/15 minute walk away. I took a trip to Ravenglass on the train and although the train journey was very scenic there is not a lot to do at Ravenglass but nice to get lunch and take the train ride back. Martyn and Sara were great hosts and on our departure day when we had trouble starting our vehicle due to a flat battery Martyn came to the rescue. To sum it up a fantastic site, in a fantastic location with fantastic staff!!

“We have just stayed in the camping barn at Eskdale with two daughters and four grandchildren. It is a superb facility with virtually all the equipment you could want and plenty of electric points. The camp beds are good too. The site is lovely , and was quiet even though packed and full of families with children. The views are wonderful and the station for the steam train to the coast at Ravenglass is a ten minute walk away. The wardens at the site were extremely helpful and friendly, and the shop is very well stocked. The loo facilities seem new and are very clean. ”
